Actually, we may be getting this message because of a combination of lots of people and because of other activity on this server, not related to this site.

I think there might be some massive internet traffic...hitting various sites...or just causing jams. I know Earthlink's own main website/domain was getting hit. I couldn't even check my email. And both the IRC and Earthlink cleared up at the same time.

Could it be virus (mydoom) related?

I have Verizon, and my whole internet connection has been abnormally slow today. I blame it on everybody wanting to see the close up pic of Janet's boobie.

Today (Tuesday) is still weird. After a WHILE, you can get to the message board, then, when you click on a thread, it's back to the "server too busy" message. It's taken me quite a while to post even this little blurb. Things are unbusy for only about 20 seconds at a time, it seems.

Server too busy makes the baby Jesus cry?
Indeed.

Yeah, it's pretty bad. Not to sound ungrateful, but it's pretty impossible to post. 50% or higher chance it gets lost in a busy message.

Things that could improve it:

The "gamma" version of this software is about to go final. When I update it, the problem may clear up a bit.

If the server issues are being caused by another site on this server, that might be resolved and the server congestion will clear up.

We may be forced to move to a dedicated server in the near future because of bandwidth issues. If that happens, I expect our server load issues will improve as well.
